Nope, that's not Purezza, you know, like Nogizaka Haruka No Himitsu Purezza. It's called Pureza! Pureza! Need to spell it out for you? That's P-U-R-E-Z-A! (Panting) What's behind the Pureza naming? Well, okay, the Melason tandem finally made it on the silver screen but unfortunately, not as good as Temptation Island. However, all is forgiven because of the Melason misfits fans will love because this is the movie fitting for Melason fans from around the world!

The Adventures of Pureza revolves on a young girl named Pura, played by Melai Cantiveros (Banana Split, I Dare You, Mana Po, Happy Yippee Yehey) who lives in the house which is nearby the railroad along with her stepbrother, Ulam, played by Martin Del Rosario (Shoutout, Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin). Just like that main character from Ang Tanging Ina, Pura does all jobs no matter how dirty it gets for the sake of her stepbrother's tuition fee. One big trouble is that Pura wants to be a model someday. Pura's best pal named Ruben, played by Jason Francisco (Banana Split, Mana Po) works with the criminals as a driver. The criminals asked Ruben to kidnap a Brazilian model but later gone for good. To save Ruben's butt, Pura takes on the most challenging dare yet, disguise herself as a Cuban model whose none other than PUREZA!

This maybe one heck of an idiotic roller coaster ride that fires an automated weapon of comedy but Pureza is an interesting feat Melason fans love. Being Melai is always being Melai and Melai mo...magwork. (AAHHHH!!!) What's boring are the characters played by Bianca Manalo (Juanita Banana), Bekimon (Juanita Banana), Martin Del Rosario, Joem Bascon (Noah), and the others because, it's not our type you know. Having the Melason tandem being the main characters of Pureza is definitely a wipeout of fun and excitement because what the Melason tandem gets, everybody responds on their trademark brand of comedy and also the punch lines used on Pureza. Face it, we may not be fans of Star Wars, Titanic, and Avatar, but once we see it, we are going to be big fans of the Pureza-ism.

Think of it as the comedy "a la carte" is Filipino, handmade by director Soxie Topacio. wktk

Kung sino man ang writing ng movie na yan eh wala ng bago. Lahat ng pinakita sa movie eh lumang patawana.

Lumang luma na ang patawa. Kahit hindi ko pa napapnood ang movie eh lahat ng ginawa ni Melai sa movie nagawa na ni Ai-ai at ni pokwang. Yung ibang patawa pa doon eh gamit na gamit na ni Dolphy.
